AFFAIRS OF TIE RAILWAYS.
Heavy Freight TRAFFIC for August.


The train records show that for August the
volume of business moving is above the usual
average. The record of car movement shows
that last week there were 232 more loaded cars
received and forwarded at Indianapolis than in
the corresponding week 1886, and Liz
more than in the corresponding week
1885. The east-bound movement with most
lines is quite satisfactory. and larger in volume
than Is usual at this OF the year. A
large per cent of the grain and -four going for
ward is for export There is an increase in
lum Der and live stock shipments One day last
week the c., ST. L. e. p took from the Indian
ypolis yards seventy-six carloads. For some
weeks to come shipments of stock promise to be
heavy. It is noticeable that west bound tonnage
begins to increase especially shipments of mer-
ehandse. and the largest west-bound tonnage
lver known is looked for this fall North-and-
south roads are doing good business, largely
local in character. although there is some grain
moving southwark and a considerable quantity
sf Southern pine coming northward for car
works. Local business has improved considera-
bly, the past week, but is still less in volume
than for the last few months An increase is
looked for from this on. The light movement
shown by the c., III. & l. is due to the burning
of two of their bridges. Below is given the
number of cars handled at this point in the week
endng Aug. Is al compared with the correspond
ing weeks OF 1886 and 1885:
